A hidden post made visible

I was afraid to make this available in public. When I tried to browse some counterpart of it in other distros, I have realized that there are a lot of similar topics found even in the official forums of major distros. There are many people doing this already. So for people ranging from lowerclass to middleclass, who can not afford a digital subscriber line, here is a wiser alternative.


If you have a Smartlink chipset winmodem in possession, then you are a bit luckier than those who own a Conexant chipset winmodem. Smartlink drivers are available for free eversince. Conexant drivers (lin*xant) were freely distributed during the 2.4 series era. This means, 2.4 kernels can still abuse the driver’s full-functionality.


Bad news for 2.6 starters, 2.4-2.6 shifters, and 2.4 starters who hold Conexant chipset winmodems. Why?


1. Free drivers for 2.4 series are no longer available in the official repository.
2. Drivers for 2.6 are free but limit your bandwidth to 14.4kbps. Free isn’t it?


So keep your 2.4 kernels, move to 2.6, and enjoy the modem’s irregulated downstreams and upstreams. Here is how:


Whip up a hexeditor and do stuffs below the belt.
